This study is based on visitor"s praise that Genel house is far superior to the Weiss house. Two of houses has manu of similarities because of contemporaneity, on the contrary, Genel house has a unique fireplace that is triangle shape and stands on beyond orthogonal position. The paper aims to reveal the significance of fireplace, like objet, in Genel House and further in Kahn"s architecture. Also, Weiss house"s outdoor fireplace is related to Genel"s indoor fireplace in terms of beyond orthogonality. In Weiss, fireplace is unificated to the structure of house, however, in Genel, fireplace is completely separated with the structure and become a main. In the same logical connection, the fireplace of Genel is similar to Fisher"s, in the end it reaches at the main spaces freely positioned in Dominican Motherhouse. Kahn"s compositional collage resembles Le Corbusier"s free plan.
